  1. “Finally, we have also considered the value of the fruitful exchanges that we have in the Council, and for that purpose we fervently look forward to another briefing session on agreed topical issues of mutual interest on a sustained and regular basis, perhaps biannually. That will align with the priorities of the United Nations-OIC Coordination Meeting, held alternately every two years at the headquarters of both organizations, so that we can also benefit from the traditional and collective wisdom that emanates from this Chamber. The meeting rose at 12.30p.m.”

In conclusion, I should like to renew the commitment of OIC to remaining a strong and active partner of the United Nations in addressing issues of mutual interest and concern, as well as current and future challenges, in defence and promotion of global peace, security and development. We have achieved a great deal together, but I believe that more remains to be done. And it is only through close and coherent cooperation, collaboration and coordination that both organizations can make our world a more prosperous and secure environment for all our peoples.”

The United Nations-OIC biannual consultation meeting provides an excellent opportunity for both organizations to identify all areas of cooperation, with a clear matrix and specific time frame for implementation. We look forward to more engagement with the United Nations to enhance the capacity of OIC on the basis of its needs and strategic priorities so as to enable it to act as an effective partner to the United Nations in addressing the immediate and future challenges that face the Muslim world.”

  6. “Consequently, the OIC General Secretariat has made sustained efforts to increase the role ofthe Organization in the maintenance ofpeace and security, conflict prevention and conflict resolution. In that context, OIC has set up a Peace, Security and Mediation Unit and a Department for Outreach and Dialogue. It has just launched its messaging centre to counter the narratives and discourse of extremists who seek to disrupt global peace and security. In that regard, OIC has made valuable contributions to the work of the United Nations in the areas of conflict prevention, crisis management, mediation, humanitarian assistance, the promotion of human rights, good governance, the rule of law and sustainable development through the many political, economic and social instruments and resources available to it.”

It has also been active in combating violent extremism and terrorism, as well as in promoting socioeconomic development, as important contributions to the global efforts in the enhancement of international peace and security. In that regard, OIC has expressed on many occasions that it stands ready to develop effective partnership with the United Nations to strengthen cooperation in all areas and to develop early responses to disputes and emerging crises.”

  8. “Accordingly, in its capacity as one of the leading intergovernmental organizations in the area of South-South cooperation, OIC has developed strong partnerships with the relevant institutions of the United Nations for the implementation of its various socioeconomic programmes aimed at promoting peacebuilding and conflict prevention among its 57 member States. As international peace and development are now faced with many difficulties and challenges, it is imperative to respond to them collectively at the national, regional and international levels. In a rapidly changing world, strengthening cooperation between the United Nations and OIC will both promote multilateralism and boost the international collective security mechanism.”

  12. “On its part and based on its commitment to fighting terrorism and countering violent extremism, OIC works to delegitimize terrorist ideologies by developing counter- narratives to such extremist ideologies and propaganda, and by elevating credible and authentic religious voices that support tolerance and non-violence. Earlier this month, in partnership with the Islamic, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (lSESCO) and the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum, OIC organized a workshop at ISESCO headquarters in Rabat as part of its efforts to combat extremism and promote a moderate Islamic narrative. The workshop discussed the role of religious education in promoting peace and combating violence.”

  13. “Similarly, we are discussing with the Counter- Terrorism Implementation Task Force how we can cooperate towards promoting the implementation of the Secretary-General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism. In that sense, one of the concrete projects under consideration is a high-level event on the prevention of youth radicalization in the Middle East. OIC believes that the first step in countering radicalization and preventing violent extremism should be to deprive terrorist groups of legitimacy in the eyes of the people they exploit by repudiating the very arguments they use to justify their criminal acts.”

As far as measures to eliminate the spread of terrorism are concerned, OIC organized, jointly with the Counter- Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED), a workshop back in 2013, to promote the implementation of resolution 1624 (2005). Currently, we are in talks with CTED to organize a second workshop with a broader scope, including the implementation of both resolution 1624 (2005) and resolution 2178 (2014). We are also in talks with CTED to see how we can benefit from its legal expertise as the OIC undertakes a revision of the OIC Convention on Combating International Terrorism.”

  15. “OIC has consistently been at the forefront in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism. Cooperation with key international and regional partners in combating terrorism is among the key objectives ofthe OIC Charter. Adopting its code of conduct, as well as the Convention on Combating International Terrorism, in 1994 and 1999, respectively, OIC was among the first to formulate a clear and principled position against terrorism. Fully committed to cooperating with the United Nations Secretariat and its relevant agencies, the OIC Secretary General welcomed the United Nations Secretary-General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism right after its release. Similarly, the OIC Member States expressed their support to the Plan of Action during the OIC Summit, held in Istanbul in April.”

Based on our firm belief in the critical role that international organizations play, OIC has deployed tremendous efforts to build and sustain a network of close cooperative relationships, not only with United Nations but with other regional and subregional organizations, in order to secure a broad and inclusive platform for the benefit of global peace, security and socioeconomic development. The Organization ofIslamic Cooperation is anatural partner of the United Nations in countering terrorism and preventing violent extremism, the two of which are increasingly threatening every society, as well as international peace and security.”

OIC and the United Nations have engaged in successful bilateral coordination and exchanges, which have been organized in Geneva and Jeddah, and thereby enhanced our levels of cooperation and sharing of best practices. In his recent statement, in September before the annual coordination meeting of OIC Foreign Ministers on the sidelines of the current General Assembly session, the United Nations Secretary- General highlighted the successful partnership that has been developed by the two organizations in all areas of mutual concern and interest.”

Entrusted with a mission to defend the collective interests and just causes of its member States, OIC, based on its Charter, was established on the noble principles of peace, harmony, tolerance, brotherhood and equality of all human beings. The preamble of its Charter reaffirms the commitment of its Member States, which are all United Nations Members, to the Charter of the United Nations. It has therefore, since its establishment, set for itself as a primary task the realization of the principles and purposes of the United Nations, and has strived consistently to contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security.”

The OIC vision, which puts people first, aims to develop human capital and achieve inclusive growth.”

The fact that the Security Council has agreed to convene today's meeting on cooperation between the Organization ofIslamic Cooperation (OIC) and the United Nations shows Clearly the importance it rightly attaches to this event.

Allow me to avail myself of the opportunity to congratulate Senegal on its outstanding performance during its tenure as a non-permanent member of the Security Council and the presidency of the Council for this month.”
